WA 64 is a hybrid apple variety developed at Washington State University (WSU). It is a Honeycrisp crossed with Pink Lady apple. The first WA 64 apples were planted at the Stemilt Growers orchard in Quincy, Washington in 2015. Availability at retail to the public may begin in 2029, six years after its introduction in 2023.
WSU research shows that "WA 64 is harder and has slightly less crispness and juiciness" compared to Honeycrisp.
WSU sponsored a naming contest for the apple, promising a quantity of Cougar Gold cheese to the winner.
